Shocking Pink!!!

Yesterday was my first official day at the pool for the 2014 season so I had to celebrate with a very summer-y mani! This is China Glaze Shocking Pink and it is definitely very bright. I used striping tape to create the lines on my ring finger, with my trusty OPI DS Radiance over top of white. This is what it looked like before I painted over the striping tape:

This manicure was inspired by this image I found on Pinterest, although I don't know who it belongs to. (Let me know if you do!) In hindsight, if I do something like this again, I might actually just use the striping tape itself to create the lines instead of painting over top of them and pulling the tape off. I think it would look a lot cleaner/sharper, although even with a few coats of topcoat it probably wouldn't be a very long-lasting look!

As you might notice, the left corner of my middle finger is chipped. That happened last night and I was pretty annoyed, but instead of shortening all my nails I decided to just let it be and "ignore" it. So pretend like you don't see it ;)

About Me

My profile picture is of me on the happiest day of my life - the day I got married to my wonderful husband.
I was pretty proud of how beautiful I looked that day, my hands included! You see, my hands haven't always looked too good (and even these days there are times when they don't) because I am a compulsive skin picker. But I am getting better, and my adventures and obsessions with polish are helping me along! :)
